"We, as American citizens and defenders of our liberty, must now be vigilant and keep pressure on the U.S. Senate to make certain they do the right thing by blocking this treaty. If they do not, Gen. Abbott is poised to strike in our defense. With Gen. Abbott on our side, I like our odds!" - Bob Price Please join the commentary on TexasGOPVote.com.

And some folks still flame me when I point out that the slimy little pissant that got us into that damned criminal organization was none other than Harry Truman. The father of the "no win wars."

It seems to me there is an even more insidious part to this proposed "treaty".

Forgetting all the valid gun issues for a moment, this treaty purports to give the U.N. the power to change it afterwards on a 75% vote of the General Assembly.

Think about the ramifications of that for a moment.....

A treaty should be like a contract where two or more states agree on "X" and the exact same parties can later agree on something else, if they wish. A contract signed by "X" and "Y" can be changed or added to later if those same signatories agree to do so; it cannot be changed by "Y" and "Z"! Those kinds of agreements belong in Bizarro World and should stay there.

Furthermore, the General Assembly consists of a lot of tinpot countries whose delegates are likely to steal the U.N. silverware (that's actually happened) and this "treaty" tries to set up them up as future law-makers in your country and mine. WTF!

The globalist agenda is visible.

ps: That's where the text was when I last saw it. Does anybody know if that's what was passed?

Fortunately, our country requires that it be ratified by 2/3 of the senate before we are bound by it.

And that is not going to happen.

Our Constitution supersedes all international treaties.

Not positive but I think the oposite is true, treaties become part of the constitution. I don't know how to verify this though. I read it somewhere but can't remember where. And as always I could be wrong and hope I am in this case.

The U.S. can not enter into treaties without ratification by the Congress. As posted by Locutus. Woodrow Wilson was from Virginia and the first Southerner elected to the White House since Reconstruction. He was the son of a Confederate and a slave holder. President Wilson in 1919 proposed and founded the "Left Wing" League of Nations the parent organization of the United Nations. This was a product of Home Grown American politics:(.

That ain't anywhere near all of the damage Wilson did to this country.
Almost every thing your current president is getting away with Wilson tried and failed. FDR was in Wisons cabinet, he managed to make some of wilsons agenda stick. Along came LBJ and here came more left wing nonsense. Now we have BHO putting the finishing touches on wilsons dreams.

Wilsons 3 most destructive legacies

1 The Federal Reserve.

2 The progressive income tax.

3 The direct popular election of senators instead of thier election by the individual state legislatures as is provided for by the constitution.
